Bad Habit: "Short Cuts"
Bad Habit 3: I just Called to Say I Love You
Yesterday, I was suppose to have dinner with a certain lenglui. A number of SMS were exchanged as to where we should have dinner. I tried to call her, but she didn't pick up. (Case of a NR). Instead, she continued to SMS. Screw it. SMS takes too much time. Not worth the savings. I ended up at home with a good book to read.
Bad Habit 2 : Broken Promises
Always keep to your promise. As they say, under promise and over deliver. Don't do it the other way around. If there is a crisis or a delay, call the person adversely affected. Most of us are kind hearted souls, so we will understand. Don't even up in a situation where no one professional would want to deal with you.
Bad Habit : No response
This is very bad etiquette. If you are busy, just say "I got your email. I will read it in detail later as I am busy." That would be fine. Or reply to an SMS. It does not take a lot of time to reply. Come on - it would take 30 seconds at most. And yet, these are the people who will go home on time or spend hours for their lunch. I am OK with that, but please reply to messages.
A lack of response shows an indifference attitude. If you pick up these bad habits, you mind end up doing it to your loved ones. Bad habits usually will not have limits. They will extend to all concerns. And this is when it will seriously screw up one's life. In the competitive world, it is a huge difference between no response and a response. Most people out there are talking about the right response, and yet we have idiots who have NR.

More stupid comments
Rethink charging 20 sen for plastic bag, Selangor told
KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor state government has been urged to review its 20 sen charge for the use of plastic bags for its no plastic day campaign.
Fomca advisor Prof Datuk Hamdan Adnan said the move was only profiting the retailers and supermarkets.
He said if Selangor really wanted to make the programme a success, they should find better alternatives.
"We support the no plastic day campaign on Saturday. But the retailers are taking advantage of the campaign to sell the plastic bags and getting profit for it.
"We feel such a move has somewhat affected the campaign itself. If one plastic bag costs 20 sen, how much will a retailer make if 5,000 people have to buy these in a single day?" he said.
The campaign was initiated by Selangor on Jan 9 to reduce the usage of plastic bags, following similar measures in Penang.
Mohd Hamdan said it was better for retailers to convert its use of plastic bag to that made of biodegradable materials such as wood or rattan.
He said consumers should also cultivate the habit of taking their own bags when shopping. - BERNAMA

Hide them
Rule 1: Don't bother to pay lawyers too much to fight your case. Some of them are just blood suckers that will clean you and your ex-partner up. You might get a million bucks from your ex husband, but the lawyer's bill will be 1.2 million. You get the picture.
Rule 2: Time to wise up. Cholp Chop. Get moving!
The rest is just what to do for Rule 2. As a start, please remove all pictures of your kids from the internet - be it facebook or whatever. The latest trend is to post pictures of kids online. Damn stupid move. My parents didn't even allow strangers to take our photos. Why? With a photo, it makes kidnapping a hell a lot easier. It is damn difficult to kidnap a specific target when you do not have a clue how the person looks like. So, please remove all the photos, including those taken by friend and relatives that are posted online.
Next, take the latest photos. Photograph your kids - front and side view. Note their height, weight and birth-marks. These are for the 'recovery' team, in case they are kidnapped. At least if you want the police to look for them, you can show the police their' latest photos.You can use a private dick...that's private detective. But you will need photos. Keep two copies. One with you. One with your friend.
Have a secret friend. Choose a good friend that you can TRUST and is RELIABLE. This friend will be your 'check fail' alert. Tell this friend what is happening. Give this friend your emergency contact numbers, next of kin, your photos, your "mark's"photo, details of your "mark", photos of your kids and other pertinent information. This friend will be your escrow. You can choose more than one check-fail friend. No one must know who this check-fail friend is. No one must suspect or easily guess who this person is. The reason is unveiled in the next paragraph.
How the check fail will work is - your friend must receive a call or an SMS from you periodically. It can be on a daily basis. If he or she does not hear from you, this person will take a list of pre-planned action - like going to the police, inform your next-of-kin. Or if the check-fail friend knows you have been harmed, immediately make public of the "mark"'s secrets. When someone else knows the mark's secret, the mark will think twice before doing something stupid to you. Do NOT store the real name of your check fail friend on your phone. Give your check fail friend a new phone. Your check fail friend cannot be revealed easily. So, have the phone registered in your name, but held by your friend. Put in a dummy name in the phone's address book.
Also, set up a duress system. If you use a phrase like " I want to screw tonite " or "HI, it's Janice here" - when you have informed your check-fail that if you use the name "Janice", it means you are in duress. You are forced to call your check fail. Again, have a prepared list of action. Like going to the police, or taking the kids away.
Assuming that the passports are done, you need to secure them. Put the passports in a secure location - perhaps a bank or with your mark. A bank is very secure. But if you need to take the kids out of the country fast, you might have to wait till the bank re-opens - especially on a weekend. So, the best is to keep it secured with your check-fail friend. It must be locked. Best is to have them in a fire resistant safe. The safe must be concealed - don't let anyone know you have a safe. Use a safe that is key operated. Forget the combination lock. It will be shit to open when you panic.
Now, keep a copy of your kids' photos and important information with the passports / check-fail friend. By now, you should know why this is required.
Also, make sure that your kids' birth certificates are kept in a bank. You won't need them urgently. Birth certificates are the kids' ID. If you have them, you have better 'possession' of your kids. Lock it up in a bank's safe custody box. Why? If the mark catches you, the mark cannot put you at gun-point or knife-point to handover the documents. That's difficult. You need to walk into the bank. Make sure your check-fail friend knows which bank and best if your friend can have access to the box. Banks allow two signatories. A good bank would be OUB in PJ. Use a bank that you do NOT normally go to. The mark must not suspect where the bank it. It makes it more difficult for him. Else, he can bloody bribe the bank manager and you are screwed.
And please don't give me the bullshit that the bank is far away, and you prefer something in your neighborhood. Remember. The mark is your husband or wife / ex. The mark has been very intimate with you. Fucked you, got two kids with you. The mark knows you. You have to now change the way you behave and your habits. Remember this at all times.
Change all the locks in your house. Change your car keys. Install an alarm system. If you already have one, change the PIN numbers of your alarm system. Change the autogate's PIN / code-decode number. Changing locks are expensive, and the rest is pretty much free. Use better locks, such as Yale. Please don't use Sonnex or some unknown locks. Locks by ASSA ABLOY are pretty good. Yale is one of them. Use those. Ensure that your check-fail friend has access to your house - in the event of an emergency. If you can, chance your car. Have another mobile number. Use the new mobile number. However, do NOT terminate the old number - else the mark will be suspicious. Keep your mark comfy. And please do not rely on your dog to keep you safe - especially when your dog knows your mark well. Keep a new dog if you have to.
Set up a new bank account - one that is in you name only at a bank you do not normally use. If the court orders your accounts to be frozen, at least you have something stashed away. Get one or two new credit cards. Better still, have an overseas bank account. It is damn easy to start an account in Singapore. Stash some money there. Have an account with a Visa or Master Debit Card. You will be able to access your funds worldwide. Set up the account with internet access. Also, ask the bank to provide you with the SWIFT Code. You need the code to transfer money / wire money into the account. It would take time before a Malaysian Court order is enforced in Singapore. By the way, if you are really planning to leave Malaysia for good, you can max out your Malaysian credit cards when you are away and forget about them. But that's only if you want to be away for long term.
The kids. Make sure you brief them that they are only to see you. If I were you, move them to a new school immediately. Do NOT let they stay with your parents. It is fucking convenient and free to have your parents as baby sitters, but your mark knows how to get to them. So, screw that idea. Move them to another district - if you are in PJ, consider Cheras. Better if it is a place your mark is not familiar with. If your mark has gang connections, the gangs won't be able to work well out of their territory. That's why is so damn important to chose somewhere your mark is not familiar with.
Babysitters or a proper tadika is a good choice to keep your kids. Why? They issue receipts. Receipts are useful in courts. When the courts hear your case 3 years later, you can bloody prove that you have been taking care of your kids. Your mark didn't contribute anything. You cannot prove that easily if your parents were babysitting them - or worse still, when your parents are no longer around to give evidence. That's a bad situation to be in. Sure, it can cost more, but there are always cheaper play-schools or babysitters out there. Keep the receipts.
Australia and Thailand are a good choice for running away. Why? Malaysian Court orders are not recognized in those countries. I may be wrong, but I think there is no extradition treaty with Thailand and Australia. So, be prepared to go to those countries. Singapore is a good transit point. You don't need a visa to get there. It is a safe country. Hide somewhere.
The worst case scenario would be to skip the country. Be prepared to do this. I am no expert here, but you can start thinking. Pack up your documents and be prepared to be on-the-go. Or at least store them somewhere - in a bank - and your friend can collect and send them to you. Identify highways and escape routes. Know who to call in case of emergency. Do note - you only have to skip the country until your kids are 18 (or 21). By then, they are adults and they are free!
Some tips on how to slow down your mark, in case of emergency. For example - when you know your mark is about to make a serious move - do some nasty stuff on him or her. If you have a joint bank account, empty it. Report cheques have been misplaced. Cancel his credit cards - or help him report them stolen. This is only possible if you know the card details. Cancel his phone line, or report SIM card has been stolen. Stuff like this. Make it difficult, but try not to break any laws.
Always remember to love your kids. They are victims too. Don't take it out on them. If you cannot manage, call some NGO, or write to me. I am unsure if I can help, but I would listen.
Custody battles are always ugly - usually made worse by overzealous "religious" officers. On top of that, justice is cheap in Malaysia. That's sad and that's why I am posting this entry.
When Justice is For Sale - at a discount!
The weird part now begins. The lady (H's friend), wants to know a good lawyer who can help her. News has it, her husband wants the two kids. The lady reckons that in Boleh Land, the Muslims will take her kids away and she will not be heard fairly in court. In the mean time, life goes on as usual for her.
Why strange? Try giving a dog a piece of bone. What will it do? It will take the bone, go somewhere and eat it. Especially when another dog is around. It will hide and eat the bone. What I am trying to say is, if you know someone wants to take the kids away, why the fuck would life be as usual? She has to be dumb and think that lawyers can solve everything. That's true - if you have VK Lingam.
But I am sure a great guy like VK Lingam won't be cheap. She won't even be able to afford a decent lawyer. Some lawyers quoted her RM 5000 and she doesn't want to pay up. Don't blame her. They are no VK Lingam.
Back to the story - she is still trying to find a lawyer. Kids are with her mother.
Let me get this right. This has nothing to do with Islamic law. It is the way law (be it Islamic or Civil) that is implemented in this country that is damn shit worrying. I mean, look - a learned Tun Eusoff Chin ruled that selling stolen property is legal. What the fuck? The stolen land still belongs to the wrongful owner till date. Screwed up right? So, imagine how it is like when they implement their version of Islamic law?
Honestly, I would be damn comfortable if Nik Aziz implemented Islamic law. At least I know he is fair and he is honest. It's just like sports. We don't mind if it is soccer or female volley ball - just ensure that the rules are fair. Under BN - nothing is fair. VK Lingam is not charged. The judiciary was for sale - mind you - for only trips to New Zealand and handphones. Shit. That's kind of a drop off. It's too cheap.
So, I have given H's friend my two cents worth. Screw the legal system - be it the Syariah Court or the Civil Courts. I don't know much about the Syariah Courts, but it doesn't look too good in the same light as the Civil Courts. More on that in another posting - and more on what I told H's friend

Wakey wakey...
Overseas newspaper paints bad image of Malaysia
LAST week, I was in Bangalore, India and stayed at the Ista Hotel. The newspaper provided is DNA (Daily News & Analysis).
On its Feb 22 edition, the newspaper provided damaging information about Malaysia under “yourworld” which gives a brief description of countries around the world daily.
DNA provided a brief description of our history, population, economic activities etc.
However, there was a paragraph that described Malaysia as a destination and transit point for the trafficking of women and children for sexual purposes.
The newspaper quoted that the information is from the CIA Factbook.
What have Wisma Putra and our embassy in India and US doing to correct this wrong information?
TAN CHEE WAN,
Subang Jaya.

Fucking Busy
In any case, no more fucking tonight. We will rest. More updates later.

I woke up this morning...
That's a damn difficult question. I have been craving for some good dim sum. Foh San in Ipoh is too far. In PJ, there's Ah Yat - but they don't start too early and it is a bit far too. And H would still be asleep till late. When it comes to that, most of my lazy bugger friends are still in bed.
Another option would be beef noodles in Seremban. I miss that too. There's a branch in Seremban market - actually, that's the original stall. Haven't had that for some time. There are two more branches - King's (in old Seremban town) and Quinn's (Kemayan Square). I prefer the one in the market.
Chow kuey teow, chee cheong fun - the better ones are in Penang or Ipoh. Sadly, those here are usually done by a bunch of Bangla workers. How can those be any good?
Even my pan mee this morning was done by a bunch from Mynmar. Not good! Sigh. I guess I have to start cooking again. Or maybe hire an Indon maid to cook for me. Hahaha.
Go baby, go
Here's a summary of my findings:
- Automax does work. At worst, it will improve efficiency from 11.5km/l to about 12.5-13.5km/l. 13.5km/l is typical for jams in KL.
- Driving on highways yields better mileage, butt here's a catch. Driving at 100km/h is the best. It can give me up to 17.5km/l. That's the best I've recorded. Typically, it would be about 15.5km/l.
- Driving at 130km/l reduces efficiency to about 14.0km/l. That's a big difference.
- Following a large vehicle - say a big bus - at 100km/l saves petrol too. But to keep a safe distance and understand the risk involve.
- Shell Fully Synthetic oil gives a smooth ride, but it is expensive. I have noticed that they are good for about 9oookm per oil change.
- As such, I have tried a TOTAL 3litre for Kancil. It has a SAE of 5W. This is good. About the same as Shell Fully Synthetic, needs to be changed at 5000km and a lot cheaper. 3L is more than enough (about the minimum mark) for my Proton car. This also eliminates the need to store excess engine oil.
- The air filter plays a major role in fuel consumption. I use a filter that cost about RM 12. It must be change every 6000 to 7000 km. That's all it is good for. More than that, consumption goes up. Cleaning a used filter with compress air doesn't do the job. After all, why not spend RM 12, and get about 10% more from a tank full. If a tank full is RM 60, two tank fulls, we have recovered cost (ROI). After that, it is sheer savings.
- Spark plugs. I am back to NGK plugs. They last a bit longer of about 20000 km. Notice I have to change them often - else, consumption goes up.
- As for fuel, I favour Caltex, BHP and Shell - in that order. RON 95 is good enough. I use RON 97 or Shell VPower occasionally to clean my engine. RON 97 burns hotter than RON 95 (according to my US friend), so that helps get rid of carbon in the engine.
In conclusion, the best efficiency is when my engine oil is new (say Total SAE 5W), new air filter, new spark plugs, Automax at 1ml per 20L of fuel using Caltex Tetron 95, driving down a highway behind a bus at 100km/l. I drive twice a month to JB from KL - so, I do get enough of reliable data.

Shaved Balls
I won't recommend shaving for everyone, but I think we should know how to keep our privates tidy. Tonnes of people spend heaps of money on hair, make-up etc, but still with a ice-age private. I have been thinking for some time - why not start a business that caters for the privates?

P1 Potong or P1 Sotong
For all DNS server changes, the settings must be made at the modem (DSL or P1) for it to be effective. I have noted that changes on the PC (Windows Vista / 7) is kind of useless.
Back to P1. What's the verdict? I will keep it for now. I am unsure if I would want it in the long term. It isn't that much cheaper. It isn't any faster than Streamyx. The only good thing is, my Streamyx service is heck a lot better in USJ since P1 has been launched. TM has fibre optics to the area now. I wonder what took those buggers so long.
In short, regardless is P1 Wimax useful or not, it sure has Streamyx / TM pulling up their socks. Competition is always good.
Back in action
To sidetrack, I got a house and it was handed over in November 2009. More on that later. Furnished it with a queen size bed and the fucking action has started with H. Since I am going steady with H on a open-relationship basis ( we get to fuck whoever we want, but there are terms), H has a set of my house keys.
Wishing all lots of sexy and hot action to come / cum this year. Have fun!

How to Keep Pussies Away
A less gross method would be to feed a cat - which also means keep a cat. It better be a strong cat to keep the rest out of the garden.

A new Natuional Holiday?
A new Natuional Holiday, yelled the NST. Guess that could be a new word. Why is the government so fond of declaring public holidays in Malaysia? Frankly, I think we hardly work hard enough here. Too many holidays. I like holidays, but when it is work, work hard. When party, party hard. Declaring a holiday without rhyme or reason is worrying. We must be the only country in the world celebration two national days - one is Merdeka, the other Malaysia Day.Other public holidays that I would suggest:
- Tunku Abdul Rahman's Birthday
- Dr. M's Birthday - for his contribution to the country. Could also be called Japanese Culture Appreciation Day for Tun's Look East policy. (and I do not mean appreciate the adult DVDs from Japan).
- Mooncake Festival - feel free to suggest more holidays based on culture.
- Anti Corruption Day - on the day poor Teoh Beng Hock was found outside the MACC office.
- Act of God Day - to reflect how lucky we are in Malaysia and be thankful
- Fucking Day / Asmara Day - married couples are encouraged to have sex and be 'mesra' with each other. Terengganu has packaged a free honeymoon for couples who want to divorce (fuck, if I get a free holiday, I would file for 'divorce' too). So, why not extend it to the whole country? Single guys and gals can jerk off on that day - no pun intended.
- Nasi Lemak Day / Malaysian Food Day. A day to promote all food which we intended to patent and claim that it is Malaysian.
- Tan Sri Zeti Day - For Zeti who is doing a great job as the Malaysian Bank Governer.
Well, I guess that should be enough. Not sure if there is a need to celebrate anti-terrorist day (on the day Altantuya was bombed) or the day Parameswara landed in Melaka. Or perhaps when Hang Tuah was killed. How about a day to remember Francis Light? Or Chin Peng's surrender?
